Westfield London is now host to a temporary escape room challenge from Norwegian airlines that showcases a new route from London Gatwick to Oakland International Airport in San Francisco.
The 'Escape from being Alcatrapped' experience gives teams 15 minutes to search for clues and solve puzzles in an Alcatraz-inspired environment that will lead to their release. Teams that are successful have the chance to win tickets for this new route to San Francisco. This stunt is a literal take on the kind of escapism from daily life that travel can deliver and challenges people to try for a real-world overseas escape from the busy city of London.
Escape room challenges of this kind have become extremely popular over the last few years and many of them are known to be incredibly difficult to solve.
